What we're up to
I want the Minister/Secretary of Education to ensure that all students are substantively taught about the climate emergency and ecological crisis. I want this to become key content in all subject areas, not just geography or science. I want teachers to be trained in how to teach about these difficult topics sensitively and to be given the funding and resources to do this.
I want vocational courses to include the green skills necessary to bring the UK to net-zero emissions by 2050 and make us world leaders in sustainable technologies and I want all education buildings to be retrofitted to net-zero emissions by 2030.
Therefore, I want the minister/secretary to implement a Climate Emergency (and Biodiversity) Education Act and include the climate emergency and ecological crisis in teacher training.
You can read our policy documents for more information about these asks.
of secondary teachers say they are not teaching about the ecological crisis in a meaningful and relevant way
of students feel that they know a lot about climate change.
of students want to learn more about the environment.
of teachers feel they haven’t received adequate training to educate students about climate change.
